So today, I'm going to talk about phones.
7
I was talking about this topic the other day
8
and I got to thinking about how important phones are in our everyday lives.
9
So let's talk a little bit about this.
10
Let's go briefly through the history of phones.
11
Even though some basic versions of the telephone had been invented earlier, Alexander Graham Bell is usually credited with the invention since he won the first US patent for it.
12
A patent is a government license given to someone who comes up with an idea for an invention.
13
It excludes other people from making or selling this invention for a certain number of years.
14
So, Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for the telephone in 1876.
15
Prior to that, people couldn't talk over long distances.
16
They could only send messages through telegraph or some other means.
17
You can imagine how revolutionary this invention was, when suddenly people could talk and have their voice heard in a different location.
18
It must have seemed like really advanced technology at the time.
19
But obviously telephones didn't just become common household items overnight.
20
It would be decades before this device became commonplace, and at the turn of the century, there were still fewer than a million phones in use.
21
One big milestone in the development of phones was the first transcontinental phone call, which was made from New York to San Francisco in 1915.
22
Nowadays, this might not seem like a huge feat, but this type of long distance communication was completely unheard of at that time.
23
The telephone was changing the way people thought about communication.
24
Over the next few decades, many more millions of households installed landlines, and the telephone became the king of communication.
25
Then, fast forward to 1973, and the world saw the introduction of the first cell phone made by Motorola.
26
But if you're thinking that this cell phone bore any resemblance to today's phones, think again.
27
The first mobile phone was a monster.
28
It definitely couldn't fit in anyone's pocket.
29
Later on in 1989, the first flip phone appeared on the market.
30
A flip phone is a phone that you open like this, the type of phone that I had growing up.
31
In 1992, the first text message was sent between phones.
32
Obviously today, text messages are an essential function of all cell phones
33
and people communicate more through messages than they do through calls.
34
Come to think of it, it seems like people try to avoid calling and instead send text messages whenever possible.
35
Another cell phone feature that we take for granted nowadays is the camera.
36
The first camera phone came out in Japan in 1999 and then later on in the rest of the world.
37
And then finally, in 2007, the first iPhone came out, stunning the world with its revolutionary design and touchscreen display.
38
Even though there were already smartphones in existence at that time, the iPhone really brought smartphones onto the scene.
39
After that, other companies followed suit and started releasing smartphone after smartphone.
40
Nowadays, it seems like practically everyone who can afford it has a smartphone.
41
This device has become a necessity in many people's lives and most people spend many hours every week using it.
42
Actually, a lot of people don't even use their computer that much anymore because they can do everything from their phone.
43
If you had told people just a few decades ago about the cell phones of today, they probably wouldn't have believed you.
44
Who knows what type of innovation we might see with phones in the future?
45
I guess we'll have to wait and see.
46
Okay, now I'm going to ask you three questions about today's video.
47
Write your answers and a comment down below.
48
Number one: In what year was the first transcontinental phone call made?
49
Number two: Which company made the world's first cell phone?
50
And number three, what important cell phone feature was first added in 1992?

Советы по практике
Рекомендуется использовать метод Shadowing для большей эффективности. Это заключается в том, что вы повторяете за спикером, пытаясь имитировать его скорость, интонацию и произношение. Обратите внимание, что в видео речь довольно плавная, и вы можете включать и выключать воспроизведение, чтобы подстроиться под собственный темп. Сначала прослушайте небольшой отрывок, затем попытайтесь повторить его, стараясь как можно быстрее подстраивать свои слова под речь спикера. Это поможет вам улучшить произношение английского и развить уверенность в разговорной практике. Используйте учить английский с YouTube как интерактивный способ погружения в язык.
Грамматика в этом видео
Конструкции, которые говорящий использует чаще всего, с точными словами из видео:
| Конструкция | В видео |
|---|---|
| Пассивный залог be + причастие прошедшего времени — важно, что происходит, а не кто это делает | had been invented · was made · was sent |
| Придаточные определительные who / which + предложение — уточнение о человеке или предмете | someone who comes · call, which was · everyone who can |
| Past Continuous was/were + -ing — действие, которое длилось в определённый момент прошлого | was talking · was changing |
| Вероятность с «might / may» might/may + глагол — возможно, но не точно | might not seem · might see |
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
